Sophia Bush Joins Disney+'s Love, Simon TV Series — See Who Else Is in the Cast!

Michael Cimino was announced as the lead in the series adaptation back in August, Variety reported. His character, Victor, is a new student at Creekwood High School and the series will follow his journey, which includes navigating life in a new city, his blossoming sexuality, and challenges at home. When it all becomes a bit much, he turns to Simon for advice.

It's not yet been made clear whether actor Nick Robinson (and Simon, his lead character from the film) will appear physically in the series, but it's been confirmed that he's both a producer and the show's narrator.

Every lead character needs a witty, upbeat sidekick, and Mia (played by Rachel Naomi Hilson) is Victor's.

Speaking of sidekicks, Bebe Wood (who has previously appeared in Boy Genius and The New Normal) is playing Lake, who Deadline described as Mia's "quirky, social media-obsessed best friend."

Deadline announced in October that Sophia Bush had landed a recurring role in the Disney+ series. She will play Veronica, Mia's dad's new girlfriend. We're sure the actress will identify with some aspects of her character's personality — Veronica has been described as "strong-willed and tough when she needs to be," and she runs a nonprofit for women.

Would it be a high school drama without a popular (and let's be honest, cocky) jock in the mix? We think not. Mason Gooding is filling the role of Andrew — Creekwood High's resident basketball-loving jock.

Anthony Turpel plays the awkward, lanky teenager who is Victor's new neighbour when he moves into town.

Isabella Ferreira — who previously appeared in three episodes of the final Orange Is the New Black season — plays Victor's angst-ridden younger sister in the new series.

Ana Ortiz (best known for playing Hilda in Ugly Betty) is playing Victor's mother, Isabel.

James Martinez is joining the cast as Victor's father, Armando — described as a "regular blue collar 'guy's guy.'"
